How would you like to find your doctor?

Thomas and Lyon Longevity Clinic

The Thomas and Lyon Longevity Clinic in the UAMS Donald W. Reynolds Institute on Aging provides primary care for patients who are 65 years and older. We offer the convenience of having most of your senior health care needs in one location, making it unnecessary for you to go to several doctors at different locations.

Our multi-disciplinary team approach is used to provide the unique care that older adults need — care that focuses your health, physical fitness and living situation. You will receive complete and individualized care management from our team of specialists:

Geriatricians (medical doctors who specialize in the care of senior citizens)

Our social workers can help you understand and select insurance or drug plans, help you resolve care giving issues and offer advice about long-term care options. Nutritional issues that impact your personal health are addressed by our trained nutritionist. Our pharmacist will review all medicines you take, including over-the-counter products, to ensure that your medicines are effective.

A referral is not necessary to schedule an appointment at the Longevity Clinic unless your insurance carrier requires one. Medicare and most private insurance plans are accepted.

Providing the best in patient care, our clinic is recognized for excellence as a Level III Patient-Centered Medical Home.

"Life's most persistent and urgent question is "What are you doing for others?'"- Martin Luther King, Jr.

Supporting one another during times of illness is especially important. A good example of this is UAMS Myeloma Center patient Gail Naimo (right) of Port St. Lucie, Fla., who was relentless in encouraging fellow myeloma patient Sergio Pinango (center) of Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. and his wife Blanca Nieto (left) to visit and seek treatment at UAMS. The three friends, who met on a myeloma Facebook page five years ago, are part of a group of nearly a dozen Florida-based myeloma patients and caregivers who share a strong friendship and gather regularly to support and fellowship with one another.

After pursuing treatments at several other medical facilities, Sergio and Blanca followed their friend's advice in 2017 and sought treatment at UAMS Myeloma Center. Today, under the care of Dr. Frits van Rhee, Sergio has been in stringent, complete remission for a year. His scans before and after treatment at UAMS Myeloma Center speak volumes!

"If they wouldn't have come when they did, he probably wouldn't be here today," Gail said recently. ... See MoreSee Less
